A Year In the Life

This little boy gave us a scare this afternoon!

At 3:30, Jessica burst into the house and told me that Luke had not gotten off the bus after school.  Just then, the bus company called to tell me the same thing, then paused for a minute when the bus driver called the other line.  The bus driver said that Luke had fallen asleep on the bus, so he missed getting off with Jess and Pep.  

We were talking, trying to figure out where I could meet the bus to collect my boy, when the driver interjected again with the news that Pepper had run all the way to the next bus stop to get his brother.  I should mention that Jess had dumped all her stuff on Pep so she could run home to tell me that Luke was still on the bus, so Pep ran all that way with his backpack, Jess's book bag, and Jess's gym bag all in tow.  Pepper was the hero today!
